If it is using the proftpd, do the folowing to fix the 530 error
1. First of all try the /scripts/ftpupdate
2. grep /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts (here is the domain username)
3. If it is not present there then grep /etc/proftpd/
4. Check details and cat >> /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts
5. Paste the main ftp account details in this file

ill overwrite the whole content.

If it is pureftpd:
Do the above 6 steps
7. Sometimes you need to rum "/usr/sbin/pure-uploadscript -B -r /usr/local/bin/ftpfilter" also

Wordpress admin login issue -due to siteurl

During the wordpress installation, customers set the Site URL as http://www.domainName/wordpress. But in the configuration file (or wordpress folder) it will be "WordPress". Due to this customer can't login wordpress admin using http://www.domaName/WordPress/wp-login.php.

Fix: In that case you need to modify the wordpress database table entry.

Use the word press database and the following update:
select * from wp_options where option_name="siteurl"G;
update wp_options set option_value="http://www.domainName/WordPress" where option_name="siteurl";


Note: Replace the domainName by corresponding domain name. The wordpress prefix wp_ will change a
ccording to the situation.
